      Mengeche Derso - Ethiopian Landrace [natural] — Ethiopia

      Mengesha Derso produces coffee on his 15-hectare farm in Halu Beriti, Yirga Cheffe in the Ethiopian Highlands. With the help of four of his 12 children, Mengasha tends to the farm, planting, pruning, harvesting & processing. The plants are fertilised with compost & animal manure. The coffee was processed using the natural method, once harvested, the coffee cherries are washed, sorted & then placed on raised beds to dry in the sun. Depending on the weather this can take from 8-25 days.
